No Love Matches Broken.

Old man Dana, who edits the
New York Sun, is much exercised
Mt the laws i'll the Southern States
which prevents the intermarrying
Of whites and negroes; and he
calls for a repeal of the law. Old
man Dana needn't get excited. II
there are any white persons in
New York that want colored wives
or husbands, let them have them.
Down in Georgia there may be
some white people who would
marry into the dark race, but ne
groes think two much Of them
selves to marry that kind. So,
no harm is done by the law being
in the statutes, and no fond love
matches are broken thereby

A New Industry.

The Griffin News tells remark
able story of a man in Spalding
county who has established al
opossum farm. This developer
Of now industry has five hun
bred fat opossums on hand.
They are tame as kittens and lodge
around on the caves Of the holge,
and other convenient places. The
The farm itself is thus described:
In the FIRST place l fenced in
about twenty acres of wood land
containing a persimmon orchard
and running branch. This fence,
as you see, | built OF clapboards
four and a half feet high, suai
GENTLY close to prevent the egress
OF young opossums. Next, l
caught during the summer and
fall Of 1884 forty females and ten
males which l turned into this
grove. But I should say that l
6rat kept them in pen near my
dwelling about six weeks, feeding
them daily, anG thus accus omilg
them to the presence OF man-in
a word, tanning them. At the end
OF six weeks they were, in meas
ure, tamed-as much so as hogs
raised in the woods.

ATLANTA, March 13.-This af-
tcrnoon a little scene took place
at the Gospel Tent, situated at the
corner OF Hunter and Lloyd streets,
which almost deyelopedinto q SEN
sation.
Two white yankee schoolmarms
came in with crowd of negro
school girls and took seats among
the white people. Ono of the
eyangellsts, the Rev. Tillman, APP
preached the party and said to
one Of the schoolmarms: "Yon
must move these negro girls to
those seats over there, which have
been set apart fer colored people.
They cannot be allowed to Sit
here" The woman at once fred
up and Gatly refused to move the
party. Then the preacher went
after a policeman. Officer Whit
ley was on daty at the Gospel
Tent, and to him the matter was
reported.
Officer Whitley approached the
party and said to the schoolmarm
"You must M, We the negro girls
to TIE seats set apart for them"
The woman began to talk
bnck when the officer said: Eth
er one Of tive things will happen.
These girls must move their seats
or | will lock you all up"
After a whispering conference
the white schoolmarl IS and their
negro scholars bounced up and
left the gospel tent.
On the outside one OF the
marms, greatly offended, walked
up to Officer Whitley and said
u thought that these gospel meet
lngs were free to people regardless
of color"
They are" said Whitley, "but
the negroes must sit in the seats
designated for them.
well" said the marin, 81
thought that person OF one cole +
was as good as a person of anoth-
er color, and that colored people
had as much right to all of the
seats as white people"
Chats where you made mis-
take" snid the officer. Eve have
not got social equality down
South yet, and it will be many
and many year before we will
have it."
And the irate school morm
moved off followed by her dark
school girls.

He's a Bad Egg.

The TT. Valley correspondent
OF the Montezuma Record
thus ventilates The cheeky Stookey,
who recently gave rope walking
performance in Dawson:
"Fr3m all account Stookey, the
rope walker, IS the grandest ras-
cal out of Jail. Permission was
given him to stretch his rope over
the Mathews building. He had to
pay Eve dollars damages. He
climbed upon the roof at night,
or when unuoticed, and hacked the
tin in dozen or more places with
the Ratchet. He stole q pair Of
skates from Mark Mathews, fine
valise from r. F. Nehring and
skipped ont for Griffin, Ga. Look
out for Stookey, the rope walker,
with his shooting gallery and
skating rink. He's bad egg"

when near the railroad shops at
the foot of Chucb Street saw the
express train approaching. Mrs.
Dunn at once stepped from the
track, aud advised Lizzie to do
the same, but the latter replied
that she could "out-run the train, /"
and Immediately started down the
track 1T a lively gait. Engineer
Frank McGhee sounded the whis-
tie but did not slacken speed at
once, as he expected every mo-

but as she continued running, he
set the air-brakes and tried to
stop the train, but in second,
almost,the pilot struck her, throw
her some ten or fifteen feet be-

The Stock Law.

Last weeks Cutllbert Liberal
suggests that we give the late
grand jury of Terrell little lee
ture because that body recon-
men6led that our representative
have passed a bill in the general
assembly authorizing a stock law
for our county, instead of leaving
it for the people to vote upon.
IT'S true the Legislature has pro-
vided a means by which the peo-
pie of the county can secure the
stock law If they desire it, but in
an election of this kind every
man, white or black, whether he
owns a foot of land or not, is al
lowed as much voice as the free
holder, and it is very often the
case that thefwishes of the land
owner, upon whom the burden Of
keeping up aud repairing fences
falls, are defeated by those who
have no property at all and never
feel the weight Of the annual re-
pairing and building OF fences
around their farms.
The late grand Jury of Terrell
was composed of an intelligent
and representative body of citi-
zens, and we do not suppose that
they would recommend any kind
of legislation without insestiga-
ting and learning the sentiments
of those whom it would most effect,
and the intimat of the Liberal
that the "pacuniary interests of a
few" sctuated the grand jury "to
dictate legislation to the masses"
is unjust.
The stock law question admits
of argument on both sides, and is
one that should rece We the most
careful consideration.
